UPDATE:
Early this morning, a pipe bomb exploded in the Times Square area of New York City. Now, more details have surfaced.
According to CNN, the man was wearing “a homemade pipe bomb,” which detonated in a walkway at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Three people were reportedly injured, including the suspect, who has been identified as Akayed Ullah, 27. He is reportedly from Bangladesh and the attack was ISIS-inspired. Just as a point, Bangladesh is not a country on Trump’s travel ban list.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the attack.

Former New York City Police Commissioner Bill Bratton told MSNBC’s Morning Joe the suspect, who is in custody, is from Bangladesh, a male in his mid twenties and “the act was being committed in the name of ISIS.” The suspect reportedly had a pipe bomb. As of now, the attack appears to be a lone-wolf. Here is a video of the explosion:
